OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma House has failed to override the governor's veto of a bill prohibiting the use of radio frequency identification tags from being added to driver's licenses or state ID cards.
House members voted 69-19 on Tuesday to override the veto, falling short of the 76 votes needed.
The technology is not currently used by the state, but supporters of the bill say it would prevent personal information like medical history or credit history from being available on a license.
Republican Rep. Paul Wesselhoft authored the bill and says using the chips is a violation of the Fourth Amendment's guard against unreasonable searches.
In his veto message, Henry said it would be unwise to prospectively ban the use of technology that could provide future benefits.
